I cannot run the LiveCD or from USB because my USB driven Logitech keyboard and mouse are not recognized so that I cannot get on during the start-up process when it wants me to choose a language/keyboard layout...

Is there any way around this issue (besides searching for an old cable keyboard of course or any modification that can easily be implemented?

zikarus, I may be able to help you. Is there any way you can run the following command with your USB kbd and mouse plugged in and post the results:

# cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

That may give a clue why your keyboard and mouse are not detected.

I have no other keyboard besides this cordless (argh, I forgot to mention this detail before, didn't I?) here in my office. I have therefore run your command under Backtrack, which seems to have no problem with my keyboard/mouse combo.

Yes, it is as I suspected. In 2.12 (on which Muppy is based) the script /etc/rc.d/rc.local0 checks for a USB mouse by examining all of the lines returned by "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" for "mouse|trackball|netscroll|bt mini\-receiver". Your info contains "USB Receiver" which is NOT detected by the script.

I have suggested to Barry that the test be made on "Cls=03(HID ) Sub=01 Prot=02" which, as far as I have been able to determine, is a more reliable way to detect a USB mouse.

If you would like to test this, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local0 and change line 191 from

No, no webpage yet.
Maybe in early 2007.
I'm too busy with work/coding. And maybe women, lets see what happens

Mark I want to thank you for making muppy and for all the posts and information you've contributed to this forum.

I came across puppy/muppy looking for linux distros designed to run on old hardware. I have been using dsl, puppy and muppy for a couple days on a spare machine that I'm giving away to someone running for town council who's never used a computer before. The speed is acceptible on the old hardware (it's only an amd k6-2 266, 128mb ram and 512mb ide hdd).
